You will also receive a lifetime guarantee and a case to hold everything together. One detail worth noting is that while the macro lens helps capture close-up details, it’s not intended for use with the zoom function.

It’s nice to have an arm for the camera to adjust. And I didn’t know it was going to come with a remote to take pictures. It was a pleasant surprise to me. It was simple to connect via bluetooth, and it instantly snapped a picture. This is a gamechanger! This tripod will allow me to take so many family photos that include me now. So happy.”

However, some users complained that the tripod was a bit unstable at the highest settings due to the extra weight of the lens.

One reviewer wrote: “I was shocked at how bright this light can get. There are three “temperature” settings and 3 brightness levels. You can adjust all of this using the touchpad on the front panel. A level is built into the tripod, so that you don’t get crooked photos. Nice touch. The tripod extends & the phone mount can be vertical or horizontal. This def has the functionality & durability anyone would want in a ring light. I’m impressed. It was easy to put together & I like that I can attach a phone or a camera.”
